reexamination.
   (2) If the renewal fee is not paid for five or more years, the
department may require an examination before reinstating the license,
except that no examination shall be required as a condition for
reinstatement if the original license was issued without an
examination.  No examination shall be required for reinstatement if
the license was forfeited solely by reason of nonpayment of the
renewal fee if the nonpayment was for less than five years.
   (3) If the license is not renewed within 60 days after its
expiration, the licensee, as a condition precedent to renewal, shall
pay the delinquency fee identified in subdivision (l) of Section

longer period, if necessary, to permit the most efficient and
economical use of the department's personnel and equipment.  To the
extent practical, provision shall be made for the proration or other
fee adjustments in a manner that no licensee shall be required to pay
a greater or lesser fee than he or she would have been required to
pay if the change in license periods or renewal dates had not
occurred.

purpose of licensing, certification, inspection, proficiency testing,
or other regulation of clinical laboratories, blood banks, or

that are appropriated in the annual Budget Act, or any other
appropriation, for support of, or expenditure by, the state
department shall, upon appropriation, be expended by the state
department to administer this chapter and Chapter 4 (commencing with
